When her hubby gets rich, she tries to back out of the deal with the exotic art collector. Things break down when the lecherous art dealer brands the formerly needy housewife.

Stalker(1979) - bizarre,intriguing maybe a little slow Russian made movie about a tour guide that takes 2 folks into a forbidden zone that is rumored to offer them their deepest wish. Filmed on location in Estonia- this movie has tons of neat visuals- but at a stunning cost- as it was filmed in chemical plants and some members of the cast and crew died of cancer. Worth a Netflix slot if you like interesting and challenging foreign movies- but the pacing is a killer , I had to watch it in 2 parts- but I still liked this movie. B-
